U+82D0 "苐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+82D0 "苐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in historical and classical texts, primarily functioning as a variant form of the more common character "第" which indicates order or sequence, such as in numbering items or marking steps in a series. Composed of the grass radical and a phonetic component, it specifically appears in ancient writings where it sometimes carries the meaning of a plant name or is employed as an alternative graphical representation in literary contexts. While not frequently used in modern standard Chinese, it remains relevant for scholars studying early Chinese manuscripts, calligraphy, or historical documents where orthographic variations are significant.
